How to use
Enter values from your device specifications or measurements, then select Calculate. Defaults are editable examples. Copy result saves a text summary; Copy link shares your inputs. Reset restores the example.
Methodology
GB per hour = Mbps × 3,600 / 8 / 1,000. Period GB = GB per hour × viewing hours per day × days. Uses decimal GB.
Worked example
5 Mbps for two hours per day over 30 days consumes about 135 GB. This bitrate is an editable scenario, not a platform-specific promise.
Limits and sources
Resolution alone does not determine bitrate. Streaming providers adapt compression and quality. Enter an observed total bitrate when possible; other network use is excluded.
Background reference: Official guidance. The source supports the background concepts; results use the formula above.
FAQ
Is this a speed test?
No. It models usage from the bitrate you enter. A fast internet plan does not mean a video uses the entire connection speed.
